Cradily was an essential non-factor, as without Pain Split its great positioning didn't pay off. Gastly's Hypnosis didn't affect too much, and it missed one of the follow up Dream Eaters, hurting its chances. A crowd boost by Aran on a copy got copied, which let both it and Mimikyu stay in the running, but lack of Mimic let Roderick barely take the win home alone.

Dragonite ran away with the contest with a Combo starting Dragon Rage CM boost, and Dragon Rushed for the finale. Getting a CM boost Round 3 didn't help Coolchu enough to win, and a salty Teeter Dance when it was most definitely not going to change the results let it lose to Honchkrow as well.

Galvantula played spoiler with some nice Giga Drains. Liepard played with high appeals and avoided all the startling and nonsense from the others. Mimikyu got the short end of the stick, appealing into the startles and losing a lot of its lead built from a Round 1 CM boost.

Dragonair got a lucky Dragon Rage combo finisher into 1st position CM 4, which it took advantage of and no one copied it. It reflected at the end, blocking both incoming Dragon Outrages. Positioning let Alice beat out Nerdiboi, and a surprise comeback from the typically lower appealing Staraptor let it catch up for 2nd.

1st: Gray Nine and Alice the NUKEM Dragonite, with DeKrueger and When next GS the Togekiss, 35 Hearts!
3rd: JacenBoy and Đuro the Lucario, 28 Hearts!
4th: Jack and Gnocchi the Raichu-Alolan, 26 Hearts!

Togekiss managed to keep up with Dragonite with all the right positioning, with Dragonite powering through with full on appeal. Lucario fell slightly behind because of some low Star moves, and Raichu had a terrible mimic first round that left it far behind the others. A last round Outrage from Dragonite to allow it to tie for first also let Lucario beat out Raichu.

Zephir had a great read for an incoming CM boost, and capitalized on it with a combo finisher. Blaziken had a shot at CM Round 4, but opted to troll (as it must) because that was a whole hell of a lot funnier than Sunny Day, and destroyed an incoming copy chain. This wasn't enough to upset Leafeon, but it did take Ludicolo down to its level.

Alice had a really well timed Hail Blizzard combo, which stymied a crowd boost and helped keep her in the game. Magna's Agility ElectroBall combo set him up for a Crowd Boost in Round 5, which Dragonite copied to tie.
